Do you love northern Thai food? Northern Thai food has been one of my favorite regional varieties of Thai cuisine for a long time now. Unfortunately, the northern Thai food I’ve had in Bangkok just doesn’t even compare to what’s available in northern Thailand… like in Lampang. Lampang is a city (and province) I had wanted […]
Indian food has always been one of my favorite cuisines in the world. Rang Mahal is one of the most well known Indian restaurants in Bangkok, and I had been wanted to eat there for years now. Finally it was my friend’s birthday, so I knew it was a good time to check it out. Rang […]
Located on the peaceful east side of Chiang Rai, is Roti Pa Yai (ร้านโรตีป้าใหญ่), a Muslim halal restaurant. In this part of town, although it’s quiet and has a much more calm and country feel to it (despite being just 5 minutes by bike or car from Chiang Rai city center), there happens to be a […]
There are some restaurant you eat at, that, as soon as you take your first bite, you know everything they cook is going to be marvelous – one of those restaurants that just makes good all around food. Ja Jaroenchai (ร้าน จ.เจริญชัย), a restaurant in Chiang Rai, is one of them. As soon as I […]
In a beautiful location, with a river-view, Lu Lam (ร้านหลู้ลำ) is one of the more well known restaurants in Chiang Rai. It’s located on the quieter side of the city, the same general area as many other good restaurants. The hotel I was staying at, Amarin Resort*, was actually located just a 5 minute walk from Lu […]
Isaan (Isan), the northeastern region of Thailand, is home to some of the most well known Thai grilled chicken, and som tam (green papaya) recipes in the country. I spent some time in Khon Kaen (ขอนแก่น), one of the 4 major cities in Isan, and while I was there, I ate at a restaurant called Gai Yang […]
Few things in the world are as beautiful as prawns the size of your forearm. Ayutthaya, the ancient capital city of Thailand, is one of the most famous places in the country for devouring jumbo sized freshwater river prawns… and they are unbelievably good. I’ve been to Ayutthaya a number of times to walk around […]
I had no idea what to expect when Ying (my wife) told me we needed to check out a restaurant called Lab Sanam Keela (ร้านลาบสนามกีฬา), on our latest visit to Chiang Rai. Little did I know, I was in for what was perhaps one of the best meals I’ve had in Chiang Rai… ever. I would […]
If you’re looking for no-frills Thai Chinese stir fry dishes, and if you happen to be in Bang Kapi, Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม) is a restaurant worth checking out. The tables are wrapped in mellow green snakeskin suede tablecloths, and the restaurant is housed in a tent sheltered by big green trees. When you approach, […]
Krua Baan Yee San (ครัวบ้านยี่สาร) is a restaurant, located in Nakhon Pathom (about an hour outside of central Bangkok), that serves traditional Thai food. I actually had a chance to eat here during a scene when we were filming a Thai food show, where I learned the royal art of Thai fruit carving and also got to eat some […]
